Hubble Spots Warped Galaxy

Discovery Should Launch August 9th

HUBBLE SPOTS WARPED GALAXY

The Hubble Space Telescope has taken a new edge-on picture of an unusually warped galaxy. Unlike most spiral galaxies, which appear flat when seen from the side, this image of Galaxy ESO 510-G13 shows how it's been twisted by a recent collision with another galaxy, which it's currently swallowing. This photograph marks a milestone for Hubble, which has now taken over 100,000 photographs.
